    I’ve been sleeping in the attic in 90 degree temps. Sweating and tossing in turning in my sleep for the past two nights. I flipped switches but you showing me this off position made me try a second time and it worked. Thanks so much!

    I need to be heard. I am a 65 year old Widow what children that live nowhere near me. I woke up this morning my air conditioner was off one half of the house was off and I panicked. I'm also an extremely fixed income. I remember my 14 year old grandson telling me to go to TH-cam and ask them when you have problems. I went to TH-cam, by the way I also saw a episode of the neighborhood, a TV show that also credits you all for doing good work. I watched your video did exactly what the young man told me and thank God everything's back on. I have to say thank God and thank you. God bless.

    Thank you so much! I was dealing with resetting a tripped breaker switch which was in the middle position. Every time I switched it to the On position, it would not stay there. It wasn't until I watched your video that I learned how to do it correctly, which is to switch it to the OFF position and then all the way back to the ON position. Voila! You saved me a service call. Thank you again.

    My boi, you just saved me from going to bed hungry. I was using the microwave & air fryer at the same time to speed up the process to eat but i over loaded the circuit & caused the power in my kitchen to go out & panicked that I started messing around w/ the panel until I just said to myself, “if I don’t know how to fix it, some guy on TH-cam will!” & sure enough, found this video less than 5 mins. You’re a lifesaver man 🔥💪🏽

It's freezing outside & you saved us!! 3 of them tripped. My rescued dogs are here too w/ my son. Thank You so much, you are an Earth Angel for this info!! 🙏🏼🙂 God Bless You!

    @Kentama 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    THANK YOU SO MUCH, this was the first helpful video that helped me out, that was immensely helpful! I didn't realize the switch pushed back further back to get to the off position, I actually went without electricity in my room for the last few days because I was too busy with work to contact my apartment office for help. Thanks so much again, spreading simple knowledge like this can save from a lot of headaches.

    Today my husband tried to insert converter adapter plug and that’s it..everything in a room turned off. He was worried about WIFI as he was in the middle of his work. He is trying to fix it with his own ideas but I just watched your video and comments then I decided to do it. Guess what?? it worked and I walk into a room with a smile like a pro 😀 Thank you so much👍🏻

  • @theresaland2158
    @theresaland2158 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Of course this kinda stuff only happens at night when it’s 35 degrees outside.
    After 10 unsuccessful trips to the box on the side of the house I thought I’d try TH-cam.
    Saved 300 bucks (Sears Repair estimate) thanks to a TH-cam video showing me how to replace the switch on my washing machine. Learned a hundred other things here. Why not ?
    Clicked on this video and PRESTO!
    Power has been restored.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH.
